| 25.10.2019 - BORIS JOHNSON IS A LIAR, so are his closest aides. Jean-Claude Juncker has accused Boris Johnson of spreading “lies” during the Brexit referendum campaign, in his most strongly worded attack on the prime minister yet. |
| 24.10.2019 - A Downing Street source said that – despite having secured a majority at second reading for his Withdrawal Agreement Bill – if he is denied an election on Monday, the PM will make no further attempt to force his Brexit deal through parliament by the new 31 January deadline, expected to be offered by the European Union on Friday. INDEPENDENT |
| 24.10.2019 - We might be moving towards a conclusion, in the Brexit Game. It is time to stop Brexit. The best option is to revoke article 50. Second best, a referendum. An election could lead to a win, but is likely to create decades of misery, if it comes before a referendum, or before Brexit is stopped. It is time to remove the current government and Labour is not an alternative, under Corbyn. We need a total restart and, if possible, a new party, an adminstrative government, or a party committed to remaining, but one that is willing to tackle the problems. Brexit, or even Remaining are not the answers to the problems, that led to this crisis. We need reforms and concrete solutions, in problem areas, as soon as possible. To concentrate on Brexit, is to ignore the problems and remove billions of Pounds, from areas of need. |
| 24.10.2019 - TACTICAL VOTING - As an election looms, we will have to be deadly serious about tactical voting to defeat Boris Johnson's Brexit. A divided opposition means the chances of an electoral pact are almost certainly nil, and so it falls to the electorate to vote with our heads as well as our hearts. INDEPENDENT |
| 23.10.2019 - THE MILLION WHO MARCHED ON SAT 19TH OCTOBER 2019 - Those who marched against Brexit will never forgive the Tories for inflicting such turmoil on the land. This was the silent majority finding its voice, the slow-to-anger rising up against the destruction of their values and their country. THE NEW STATESMAN |
| 23.10.2019 - The Brexit crisis has plunged Remainers and Brexiteers into a dangerous game of the ‘prisoners’ dilemma’. The likely outcome of intransigence on both sides of the Brexit debate is that the judge will send both gang leaders down – so we end up with a bad deal that satisfies nobody: INDEPENDENT |

MPs have voted to delay Brexit beyond March, which is the first stage.
The UK is scheduled to leave in just two weeks, as you can see on our website ticker, but the decision by parliament now means that May will request an extension to Article 50 of at least three months.
The prime minister could request a significantly longer delay to Brexit, if MPs reject her deal for a third time next week, on Wednesday 21st March. The saga continues!
All remaining 27 EU member states would have to agree to an extension of Article 50. Would Spain join in, without agreements on Gibraltar? Would the anti-EU government in Hungary be interested?
Members of Parliament have voted to delay Brexit, in response to Theresa May's struggle to get her deal through the House of Commons. MPs on Thursday voted by 412 to 202 for a motion which instructs the prime minister to ask the European Union for an extension to the Article 50 withdrawal process. If accepted by all the 27 other EU member states, it means that the United Kingdom will not leave the EU on 29th March, as originally scheduled.
May has told MPs that if they agree to back a Brexit deal by Wednesday next week, the UK's departure will only have to be delayed by three months, meaning Brexit would take place on 30th June. However, if the House of Commons does not approve a deal by Wednesday, the UK government will be forced to ask for a much longer delay, in order to create time to find a new way forward, the prime minister has said.

The EU has been clear that the deal on the table is the only one available, the PM adds.

| U.K.'s Theresa May to Consider Delay to Brexit Date | Bloomberg 25.02.2019 |
25.02.2019 | Corbyn is expected to address the Parliamentary Labour Party this evening and relay the following plan for Brexit:
1. Labour will put forward an amendment to May's meaningful vote calling for a brexit compromise - which is basically a 'soft brexit' - a close relationship with the EU, customs union and single market etc
2. Labour will support the Cooper/Letwin amendment that calls for 'no deal' being taken off the table.
3. If the House cannot agree to support Labour's compromised deal, and yet again fails to support Theresa May's unpopular deal - leaving only exiting with no deal on the table - Labour will table a motion to go back to the people for a Second Vote.
Corbyn is following the Labour Party conference policy on Brexit to the letter.
The 'no confidence' motion failed, so there was no support for a General Election.
Now the pressure will be back on the Conservative Party to make up their minds on what they can agree on:
1. Support May's Withdrawal Agreement
2. Support Corbyn's Brexit compromise
3. Support a No Deal Brexit
4. Go back to the public for a second referendum.

| © CLICK FOR TEXT SOURCE | Theresa May made the UK's decision to leave the EU solely on the basis of an advisory referendum which she knew was corrupted & without a plan for the future agreed by Cabinet. No rational Prime Minister properly seeking to discharge her responsibilities would ever have done such a thing. The effects of such folly are now self-evident. If the Court of Appeal hides behind a time bar to deny Judicial Review of a decision so critically impacting the British & EU Citizens' rights in UK & the rest of Europe, it'll be in breach of its duty of sincere co-operation. The Judiciary has been the one branch of Government which has withstood the pressure of Brexit relatively well. If the Court of Appeal fails, then we are completely undone; the Rule of Law is gone; Democracy farewell. Hopes are pinned on @UKEUchallenge. Given the Court of Appeal has given permission for an expedited hearing, one imagines they are prepared to consider waiving the time bar. Too much is at stake right now and parliament is a lottery. Make sure you encourage everyone to support this challenge. Please share far and wide, it really could collapse the Brexit house of cards. https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/ukineuchallenge/ 12.02.2019 |

| "The mood is changing" say Labour activists in Leave-voting areas. Cornwall in Europe © text: Many local Labour parties in these areas are the ones pushing most strongly for motions supporting a People's Vote. Good for them - and we've seen the same mood change in Cornwall. For many people Brexit is becoming much more than an abstract idea or an airy promise. They've seen how it's going to affect them personally, or people they know and love. 26.01.2019 |

STIRRING UP TROUBLES (source + ©) - Londonderry bomb: MI5 has 700 officers in Belfast as dissidents stoke Brexit fears - Commentary by Richard Bird: 700 MI5 officers in Belfast. I am deeply concerned that the conflict in NI will be re-opened. Brexit is a Frankenstein monster created by Cameron. Whether you stop it now, or seek to give people a chance of reconsideration by public vote, it means trouble. But on balance, stopping Brexit would:
A. eliminate any pretexts for trouble in NI.
B. create dissent and anger in some parts of the UK, but I don't see that as resulting in bombs, multiple deaths and serious injury. So purely in terms of avoiding destructive violence, stopping it NOW wins out. The rest of the political debate pales into insignificance. THE TIMES - STORY |

No-deal Brexit could be 'taken off the table', Chancellor Philip Hammond tells business leaders in leaked conference call (Independent)
Chancellor Philip Hammond told business leaders that a no-deal Brexit could be "taken off the table" and Article 50 "rescinded", according to a transcript of a leaked conference call obtained by the Telegraph. |
Andrew Grice: We have a government that can’t govern and an opposition that can barely oppose. In 38 years as a Westminster journalist, I can’t recall a time when both main party leaderships performed so badly at the same time.

Sadly, many Leavers read these papers and it must be really frustrating to those who believe in facts. The campaign of disinformation, undertaken by such newspapers, has played a major role in the chaos, racism, populism and divisions currently being experienced. Most of these papers are owned by the few, who are registered abroad. 15.01.2019 |
